Toyo Engineering launches g-Steam™ tube-type electric boiler
- g-Steam™ is a tube-type electric boiler branded from technology cultivated for nuclear power plant equipment.
- Unit capacity is suitable for medium to large steam demand of 2 to 25 t/h per unit.
- The underlying technology has been used since the first unit introduced in 1989 by domestic power companies, demonstrating long-term reliable operation.
- The boiler supplies steam without burning fuel (no exhaust gas), supports wide load adjustment for renewables, and reduces inspection and maintenance needs.
Product
g-Steam™ is a tube-type electric boiler that generates steam by applying electricity directly to the steam generation tube (Joule heating). It is intended for medium to large-scale steam demand, with capacity of 2 to 25 t/h per unit.
Technical pedigree
The electric-boiler technology was developed and refined for nuclear power plant equipment. It has been adopted as boiler equipment by domestic power companies since the first unit was introduced in 1989, with a track record of long-term stable operation and reliable performance in demanding environments, including resilience during earthquakes.
Key features
g-Steam™ supplies steam using electricity without burning fuel, producing no exhaust gas from the boiler; when powered by renewable electricity it enables low‑carbon or zero‑emission steam. It offers a wide load adjustment range and high followability to respond to fluctuations in steam demand and to variable output from solar and wind power. The design minimizes ancillary equipment, reducing inspection and maintenance items and operator workload.
Deployment and outlook
Toyo Engineering plans to deploy g-Steam™ across manufacturing industries that use steam, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food and beverages, while verifying applicability in a range of industrial fields and promoting expansion of the product's application to support low-carbonization of steam supply and carbon neutrality in manufacturing.
